Starting a new show... five years later

Once you've managed to mow through most of the fall television season, not to mention a fourth pass through some seasons of the medium's finest hour (Lost), it's time for something new. With little to go on save the recommendation of an old roommate, I decided to take the plunge and turn on How I Met Your Mother. Granted, I had never seen an episode, but the jolly one placed it under the Christmas tree this year. Three episodes in, I must admit that I'm pretty pleased! Sure, the show at times appears to be little more than a showcase for Neil Patrick Harris, but, so far, I'm in!
